Despite the promise that digital learning has to close equity gaps, there is a serious paucity of data that demonstrates that promise being realized. Studies that illuminate the impact of digital learning on Black, Latino, Indigenous, poverty-affected, and first-generation students are scarce and, when they exist, are limited, according to a new literature review, The Impact of Digital Learning on Minoritized and Poverty-Affected College Students<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have learned anecdotally that technology on its own does not necessarily support minoritized students,\u201d says the report\u2019s author, Laura DaVinci, Associate Director of Every Learner Everywhere\u00ae.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to see if the literature on digital learning actually was in line with what we were seeing in the field. Unfortunately, while there is a lot of research on digital learning on its own, there is very little on digital learning\u2019s impact on equity gaps and on our target population. Too much of the discussion about digital learning is still obscured by aggregated data and by techno-solutionism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the review does arrive at a few data-supported findings, such as:<\/p>\n
